    I think it was on the body recomposition site, but I don't remember.

    Someone asked what to do about hunger, and they listed a bunch of things. The final one talked about how sometimes you just have to deal with being hungry. The quote was awesome:

    "Sometimes you just have to suck it up or stay fat."

    I tell myself that all the time! Suck it up or stay fat!

    There are two pains in life. The pain of discipline and the pain of regret. Discipline weighs ounces, regret weighs tons.

    Similar to this, I've seen "don't quit until you're proud". That's what I always think when I'm feeling discouraged: would I be proud if I quit right now? And the answer is always NO!

    “Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” - Mark Victor Hansen

    “You are the embodiment of the information you choose to accept and act upon. To change your circumstances you need to change your thinking and subsequent actions.” - Adlin Sinclair

    "Keep a green bough in your heart, and the singing bird will come." -- Chinese proverb. My all-time favorite quote.


    The poem "Say Not The Struggle Nought Availeth" by Arthur Hugh Clough I find to be very motivational!

    “Visualize this thing you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin.” - Robert Collier

    I know it sounds cheesy, but I have a few photos of what I plan on looking like when I reach my goal weight taped to my refrigerator. I believe there is some truth to visualizing what you want to look like will help you plan the path to reaching that goal.
